Shin Splint Recovery Training Starts TONIGHT!

My idea of "starting slow" after recovering from shin splints has twice failed me. I thought starting with an easy 12 minute run (1 mile) would be slow enough. I guess I was wrong. Now I have a runner-prescribed recovery plan that starts off running for 1 min, walking for 1 min, back and forth for 30 mins. Ya, that's surely starting slow. But hey, if it means I don't have shin splints anymore, I'm all for it. I'll let you know how it works out.
